One Life of so much Consequence!

| ←Bound — a trouble — (269) | One Life of so much Consequence! by 270 |
(271) A solemn thing — it was — I said —→ |
One Life of so much Consequence!
Yet I — for it — would pay —
My Soul's entire income —
In ceaseless — salary —
One Pearl — to me — so signal —
That I would instant dive —
Although — I knew — to take it —
Would cost me — just a life!
The Sea is full — I know it!
That — does not blur my Gem!
It burns — distinct from all the row —
Intact — in Diadem!
The life is thick — I know it!
Yet — not so dense a crowd —
But Monarchs — are perceptible —
Far down the dustiest Road!
